careful dressing daily with Ayers Hair

luxuriance and beauty to a good old age.
"Mv hair was faded and dry" writes
Mabel C. Hardy, of Delaware, ILL.,, but
after using only half a bottle of Ayers
Hair Vigor it became black and glossy

which she became almost entirely bald
and was compelled to wear a wig A

Ayers Hair Vigor to the scalp, and, after

A Boston man who was On tie
ill-fated Montreal train, which met
with such a horrible accident at
White river, On the Vermont Cen
trail road, got off at Concord to get
a drink, and before he had time to
return 20 the station the train had
pulled out aud left him. Two
hours later it had fallen through
the bridge, and the helpless pas.
sengers were being roasted in the
flames OF the burning cars. Suppose
Concord had been a prohibition
town, Or that it had been Sunday,
and a Sunday law had closed up
all the barroons, the Boston man
would not have left the train, and
likely as not would have 1ost his
life. In the future he will take a
drink, no doubt, every chance he
gets, because it is plain that a
drink saved his life. He will not
pass a station without getting off
aud taking a drink.-N. 0. States.
